Summary
Neurophysiological assessment identified residual motor connections in a spinal cord injury (SCI) patient. Targeted neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES) improved triceps strength, demonstrating the value of combining neurophysiology with rehabilitation.
Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Medicine
- Clinical Neurophysiology
Background:
- Spinal cord injury (SCI) rarely involves complete cord transection, leaving potential for residual motor function.
- Clinical assessments may not detect sub-clinical spared connections in SCI patients.
- Neurophysiological evaluations offer objective data on nerve conduction across the injury site.
